I have a curses program which I want to open up a one line window at the current cursor position on the screen without clearing the screen. I do clearok(curscr, FALSE) after initscr() so the screen will not clear on refreshes. The problem is that when I create a new window it needs the current line (or row) number to start the window at and I cant seem to get this information by looking at the curscr or stdscr structures. ie. getyx(curscr,y,x) returns 0 for y, which tells me that the cursor is at the top of the screen instead of where it really is. So, in short, does anyone know how to determine where you are on the screen at startup with a curses routine or system call??? (Note: I am using SunOS 4.1.1 and the standard curses library) Thanks, Andy Knight aknight@milky-way.prime.com -Andy Knight aknight@milky-way.prime.com (617)275-1800 X6403
